Derrick White was left speechless after making block history
The Boston Celtics won 129-119 against the Utah Jazz in their last game, and continue to play well this season, even without their best player on the wing. Everyone raised their level of play on both sides of the ball, and it showed against the Jazz, especially for Derrick White.
White is known as one of the better 3-and-D players in the league, and he did his best in the game as he finished with 27 points, seven rebounds, six assists and seven blocks. It was that last stat that caught everyone’s attention, as he tied the record for most blocks by a guard in a single game.
After the game, white he was asked about tying the record, and he was speechless.
“It’s kind of crazy. I don’t know what to say,” White said.
There’s no doubt that White was all over the field, and he almost moved like a center when they were getting blocks. White has always been an aggressive defender and one day he will be rewarded. He’s just one of the reasons the Celtics have been successful this season.
Jaylen Brown is another player who has taken his game to the next level, and the month of December has been very kind to him, as he has scored 30+ points in almost every game.
Head coach Joe Mazzulla shared his thoughts worked for Brown during this hot period.
“He picks and chooses his spots really well,” Macula said, via Bobby Kriwicki of Sports Illustrated. “I think he finds a great balance between knowing when to score on offense versus letting guys do their thing. He spends a lot of time reading the play and executing the play.”
If White and Brown can continue to play at this level, it will be interesting to see what heights this Celtics team can reach.
